Benefits of technology

[0011]It is also an aspect of the present invention to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery that is capable of ensuring safety and preventing gas generation during storage at a high temperature.

Problems solved by technology

Since most conventional solvents have a low flash point and high inflammability, they may cause dangers such as fire, explosions, and so on.
However, a lithium secondary battery in which a non-aqueous electrolyte is mixed with a halogenated carbonate causes problems in that a film formed on the surface of the negative electrode decomposes to generate a gas, which remarkably increases the internal pressure thereof when the battery is stored around 60° C. for several days.
Particularly, in a case of a polymer battery or a laminated thin lithium secondary battery, it is a serious problem that the battery thickness increases due to the decomposition gas.
In addition, in the case of a polymer battery or a laminated thin lithium secondary battery, internal shorts are repeatedly caused by excessive expansion of the battery volume due to an overcharge.
Particularly, when the battery is overcharged by a large current from a discharged state, it is hard to ensure safety since the internal shorts easily occur due to the lithium deposition.

[0096]Preparation of Lithium Secondary Cell Nos. 1˜28

[0097]Monofluoro ethylene carbonate (FEC), nitro ethylene carbonate (NEC), or cyano ethylene carbonate (CEC) was added in an amount of 0 to 20% by the weight based on the non-aqueous electrolyte, and at the same time, a second salt of LiBF4 was added in an amount of 0 to 1 mol / L to provide electrolyte Nos. 1 to 28 as shown in Table 1. In the electrolyte of Example No. 12, the gelling compound of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) was added in an amount of 3% by weight.

[0098]In Table 1, the amounts of monofluoro ethylene carbonate, nitro ethylene carbonate, or cyano ethylene carbonate are expressed as “% by weight”; the composition ratio of the none-aqueous solvent is shown as “% by volume”; and the salts of LiBF4, LiPF6, and BETI are shown in units of “mol / L” based on the electrolyte. In Table 1, FEC represents monofluoro ethylene carbonate, NEC represents nitro ethylene carbonate, CEC represents cyano ethylene carbonate, EC r...
